Interdental papilla reconstruction: a systematic review

ConclusionThere are various options for interdental papilla reconstruction of which hyaluronic acid injections, PRF, surgical grafting and orthodontics seem to improve outcomes at a minimum 3  months. The use of soft tissue grafting with sub-epithelial connective tissue graft seems to be associated with the most robust evidence for the longer-term reduction of ‘black triangles’. There is insufficient evidence to make recommendations to clinicians. Further research is needed in the f orm of well conducted RCTs with longer follow ups and patient reported outcome measures.Clinical relevancePatients frequently complain about the appearance of black triangles and their management options seem unclear. This systematic review provides insight into the available reconstructive options.
